Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have hitherto identified several germline variants associated with cancer susceptibility, but the molecular functions of these risk modulators remain largely unc
BackgroundGenetic studies previously reported that variants in TERT-CLPTM1L genes were related to susceptibility of cancer and non-cancer diseases. However, conclusions were not always concordant. Met

Genetic factors play an important role in the etiology of both sporadic and familial breast cancer. We aimed to discover novel genetic susceptibility loci for breast cancer. We conducted a four-stage
